According to yesterday’s NPR morning news, the next big movie trend is not toys, but old, established board games. The reasoning given and I am paraphrasing but not joking: “The less specific the branded source material is, the better”, where execs are concerned.

Maybe “Husker Du?” could be a musical, with music by Husker Du.

Funny. Also, I’d go see David Cronenberg’s take on the Cabbage Patch dolls.

around 35 seconds in, during the cabbage patch scene, john lithgow’s thumbs are on the wrong side of his hands.

If my memory serves me right, a movie about “The Smurfs” was used in a “Saturday Night Live” (I believe from a 1999 or 2000 episode with Garth Brooks). Actually, it sounds like they used Will Ferrell’s dialogue in this clip.

I was expecting the Smurfs movie to be directed by Mel Gibson instead.

Meh….
Is it just me or could this drawing and animation be better? I don’t wanna be a stinker, but I never got why this dude’s stuff took off? Seems like the themes here and the execution are pretty weak…
I also noticed the thumbs. Maybe I am a jerk and should just think and say this is awesome, but it ain’t so :(
